Federal Contracting and Cybersecurity - What Institutions of Higher Education Need to Know
Webinar | 03.03.16, 9:00 AM EST - 10:30 AM EST
Higher education institutions frequently act as government contractors, performing research and development under federal grants, cooperative agreements, and traditional contracts. Doing so opens up a wide range of opportunities for these institutions, but it also comes with complex regulatory requirements that can be difficult to manage. One area in which these challenges have become increasingly apparent is cybersecurity and privacy risk management. Doing business with the federal government means adopting a patchwork of cyber requirements that often vary across agencies and evolve over time. This webinar will help guide higher education institutions through this patchwork by providing an introduction into what some of those key agency requirements are and how higher education can get one step ahead of this ever-changing environment.
Key Topics Covered:
- DoD Contracts
- Classified Contracts
- Federally Funded R&D Centers
- Grants Case Study: HHS and NIH
- Cyber Risk Management

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
